I hope you're having a great weekend! Today I'm excited to offer a giveaway, in coordination with the fun online boutique Personalized From Me To You. On the weekends, I tend to keep my outfits pretty casual — basics like these over-the-knee boots, a cozy scarf, and this black monogrammed bag are perfect for running errands and meeting friends around the city.

My favorite piece in my closet currently is this beautiful wool wrap coat. It's incredibly cozy, but fitted in all the right places, and is dressy enough for holiday parties and events. Plus, the coat has an amazing shawl collar that flips into an oversized hood, should the day become windy or snowy. I'm wearing the "Mink" color here, but also love the gorgeous wine color version, too. I'll definitely be wearing this coat on repeat these next few months. Can you believe we're almost to December? Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving! As always, I appreciate you stopping by and want to send a big, "Thank you!" — whether you're a new reader or have been checking in regularly this past year. Stay tuned for more exciting posts and collaborations this holiday season! xo

Today's holiday gift guide is dedicated to the fitness fanatic. Whether she's training for a marathon, taking classes at the gym, or looking to start a new routine for 2015, a few pieces of activewear make a great gift to start the new year on the right foot. When looking for workout clothes, I turn to Nordstrom, Target and Lululemon — they always stock a good variety of activewear, across all price points. Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

One of my favorite recipes to make at home is a Mixed Berry Smoothie. I've been making the same variation of this smoothie for years — just ask anyone from my college roommates to my boyfriend! It's been a staple in my routine because it's a healthy and refreshing way to kick-start the day. So when Williams-Sonoma asked me to team up and share my favorite recipe, with a creative twist of one "unusual" ingredient for Williams-Sonoma's Smoothie Week — I happily said, "Yes!". Here is my classic Mixed Berry Smoothie recipe, with added natural oats, to supplement an already delicious and healthy breakfast drink. I hope you enjoy!

MIXED BERRY SMOOTHIE

• 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.)

• 1 banana
• 1/2 cup orange juice

• 1/4 cup oats
• 1/2 T flaxseed

• 1 cup ice
• 6 oz yogurt (optional)

• For extra sweetness, try adding pineapple or agave.

Directions: Pour orange juice in blender first, then all the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Tomorrow morning I'm headed to Madison, where I went to school at the University of Wisconsin — it'll be so fun to be back on campus and cheer for Badger football! Speaking of weekend travel, I'm loving this weekender bag from Sole Society. It's made of vegan leather, features luxe gold accents, and is roomy enough for a night or two away. If you're in the market for a weekend bag, I'd definitely recommend this one!

One of my favorite things to collect and display at home is an assortment of coffee table books. I always think it's nice to have a variety of books within reach for guests (gals and guys, alike!) to browse. Coffee table books are fantastic conversation starters, whether it's focused on travel, style, interiors, history or the outdoors. Here are a few that are currently on our coffee table. Do you have any favorite books of your own?
